Novels
The novels were originally written to fill the gap between Dante's past and subsequently Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 2. However, with the release of new canonical material, eg Devil May Cry 3, major contradictions have removed the novels from continuity. The first novel supposedly takes place before the first game with Dante going by the alias of Tony Redgrave and have encounters with a man named Gilver who wielded coincidentally wielded a katana and hid his face with numerous bandages. In the end, the man is revealed to be Vergil before he becomes brainwashed by Mundus. The second novel also takes place before the second game. Unlike DMC2, Dante retains his talkative, carefree personality from all of the other games and is allied with a woman named Beryl, whose similarities parallel Lady, wielding a Spiral-like weapon

Comics
Three issues of a comic adaptation of the first game was published by Canadian publisher Dreamwave Productions in 2004, but was left unfinished when the company went bankrupt in 2005. The third issue ended with Dante being knocked out by Trish.

Other Games
Dante has appeared in a number of other games. These include:
 * Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne - Dante is hired to kill the player. He is recruitable to the party later on the game. This was in due to Kazama Kaneko, the character designer for the series including him in the game. In return, he was brought into designing the Devil Trigger forms for Devil May Cry 3.
 * Viewtiful Joe - Dante is playable in the PS2 version of the game and he must save Trish. He appears in the PSP version of Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble as a bonus character. He lends his biplane, Carnival, to Captain Blue for a scene in one of his movie and he and the player race to defeat the boss of the stage. His costumes are standard, blue coat, underwear and Plasma.
 * He is a character card in SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighter DS.

Trivia

 * Interestingly, Dante is impaled by his own sword in every installment (excluding DMC 2) by an opponent. In DMC, Trish pins him to the floor with the Force Edge. In DMC3, Vergil stabs him with the Rebellion. In the anime, Sid impales him through the heart on a cross. In DMC4, after hurling Dante into the Sparda statue, Nero spears him with the Rebellion.
 * In Devil May Cry 4 Dante spoke to Nero as if he'd known him from the past, or just known him. "We're the same... you and... I"― Dante, Devil May Cry 4
